Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof Shoe - Black / White Nice and stylish modern looking boots that have sensible protection and a fully waterproof lining. Easy to walk in and upgradable with me from my learner bike. Fit feels slightly on the larger size to me so will be able to get thick socks in for Winter in my regular UK 9
Alpinestars SP-R Tech Gloves - Black / White I like the comfort of the glove
Alpinestars Nucleon Plasma Back Protector - Red / Black In size 4 fits my Stella C1 Air jacket size S
Alpinestars SMX Plus Boots - Black Best boots I’ve ever had. Comfy, great protection and look good
Alpinestars T-SP 1 V2 Waterproof Jacket - Black As with all Alpinestars clothing you are buying a premium product. I also have a T-Jaws V3 jacket and the T-SP1 -V2 is as good if not better. The jacket is an excellent fit - highly tailored without being too restrictive in use. It is worth mentioning that the buyer should up-size and a size 42 medium fits perfectly for a true 38 inch chest. The fit amply allows for the integral thermal liner, a mid layer and also a back protector (which needs to be bought separately). Pockets, zips and hook and loop fastenings are all robust. I have only worn the jacket in light showers and water ran off easily so would expect it to perform in heavier rain. It fits well with Alpinestars trousers and AAA jeans. Overall, a quality jacket and well recommended.
Alpinestars Andes V4 Drystar Textile Trousers - Black Good quality, however the zip design is poor
When zips are closed on the vents the zip is at the bottom of the leg rather than the top. If you do not close correctly there is a chance of water ingredd
Alpinestars T-GP R V3 Drystar Jacket - Black / White A great jacket, the stretch in the fabric makes it so comfortable to wear. I noted on a review that someone said the pockets are small, well I can load up with my iPhone 16, fitted with a bulky cover, wallet and keys in to the 2 zipped pockets, no problem at all. Cuffs are small, but I can still manage to fit my smaller gloves under the cuff. Big winter gloves no chance ? Thermal liner is easy to fit in and remove, it has Velcro at the cuff so no fiddly button/loop faffing around. Back and chest protector can be fitted, and air bag ready if you want to fit one. Overall a great jacket which I have been using over the last few weeks and I have paired it with a set of Alpinestars T-SP R Drystar trousers of a similar stretch material, which are the most comfortable trousers I had ridden in , in over 30 years biking. Sizing as always is pot luck, I had to get a medium Jacket, and a XL in the trousers, 5’ 7”, 40 inch chest, 36” waist and 30” inseam. You got to try them on!!! Sportsbike Shop as normal brilliant with changing sizes, so massive thanks to the Leeds branch, they are brilliant and always very helpful.
